Kia India has unveiled the All-New Seltos in a global premiere held in New Delhi, marking the return of one of India’s most popular midsize SUVs.

Bookings will open nationwide from midnight on December 11, 2025, with prices scheduled to be announced on January 2, 2026.
A Bigger, More Commanding SUV
The All-New Seltos has grown noticeably in size, now measuring 4,460 mm in length and 1,830 mm in width, making it the longest SUV in its class. A 2,690 mm wheelbase adds to its spacious cabin and enhances stability, delivering a confident, premium driving experience.
Bold and Modern Design
The updated Seltos embraces Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy and introduces a more aggressive, futuristic appearance. Key exterior elements include the new Digital Tiger Face, Black High Gloss Grille with Gunmetal accents, Ice Cube LED projector headlamps, Star Map LED DRLs and connected LED tail lamps. First-in-segment Automatic Streamline Door Handles and new 18-inch Crystal Cut Alloy Wheels with neon brake calipers further elevate its road presence.
Customers can choose from 10 monotone colour options, including two brand-new shades: Morning Haze and Magma Red.
Premium Interiors With Advanced Comfort
Inside, the Seltos offers a more refined and technology-rich environment. The standout highlight is the expansive 75.18 cm (30-inch) Trinity Panoramic Display Panel that combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. The cabin features Smoky Black and White dual-tone interiors with leatherette seats, a Double D-Cut Dual Tone steering wheel and multiple premium touches.
The SUV offers a 10-way power driver seat with power lumbar support, an indulgent relaxation function, ventilated front seats, an integrated memory seat linked to the ORVM settings and a Welcome Retract Seat function for ease of entry and exit. A Bose Premium 8-speaker audio system, 64-color ambient lighting, wireless charging, rear sunshade curtains and Type-C charging ports for both rows further enrich the experience. A dual-pane panoramic sunroof completes the premium cabin.
Next-Generation Technology for Modern Lifestyles
The new Seltos brings a significantly upgraded tech suite designed for convenience and connectivity. It features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, first-in-segment Smart Key Proximity Unlock, Kia Connect 2.0 with upgraded connected features, and over-the-air (OTA) updates that allow software and feature enhancements without visiting a dealership. Kia Connect Diagnostics adds another layer of real-time vehicle monitoring and convenience.
Safety Upgraded With ADAS Level 2
The SUV is built on Kia’s global K3 platform, debuting in India, offering stronger structural rigidity, improved crash performance and better overall refinement. The All-New Seltos comes with a 24-feature Standard Safety Pack, including six airbags, ABS, ESC, Hill-Start Assist, a rollover sensor and Rear Occupant Alert.
Safety is further enhanced through ADAS Level 2 with 21 advanced driver-assistance features such as Forward Collision Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. Additional safety technologies like Blind View Monitor, a 360-degree camera and side parking sensors make everyday driving easier and safer.
